Gear up for the PUBG NewJeans collab as the phenomenal K-pop group brings fresh and energetic vibes to the battlegrounds!
In a unique collaboration with video game developer Krafton Inc., NewJeans is dropping exclusive content for the highly popular battle royale game PUBG Battlegrounds (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds).
Here’s what you need to know about the in-game event, including its release date, so you can dominate the competition in style.
We’re hyped, boy! PUBG NewJeans collaboration is simply pink-tastic
The collaboration features all five members of NewJeans — Danielle, Hanni, Haerin, Hyein, and Minji — sporting the iconic bunny hats and beanies from the music video of their hit song “OMG”, as seen in a photo released by PUBG on X (formerly Twitter).
Imagine dropping onto Erangel transformed with a burst of color, where a giant bunny bus awaits you.
The poster also features a plane trailing a banner that proudly declares the collaboration “NewJeans x PUBG Battlegrounds.”
Keen-eyed players will also spot colorful crates and chests, hinting at a special loot box filled with exclusive NewJeans-themed cosmetics.
While details of the PUBG NewJeans collab are still releasing, fans expect a collection similar to the PUBG Mobile x Blackpink collab in 2021, which featured outfits and voice lines inspired by the girl group’s hit songs.
PUBG is a popular battle royale game where up to 100 players fight to be the last one standing.
Players parachute onto a large map, scavenge for weapons and gear, and battle each other as a constantly shrinking play zone forces them closer together.
It can be played solo, in duos, or with small teams, and offers a thrilling mix of strategy, action, and a bit of luck.
PUBG NewJeans collaboration release date
The PUBG NewJeans collaboration drops on June 12, 2024 for PC and June 20, 2024 for consoles.

They debuted in July 2022 with a splash, their first single “Attention” shooting straight to number one on South Korea’s music charts. Their sound is a fresh take on pop and R&B, heavily influenced by 1990s and 2000s styles, which complements their youthful and energetic image.
They’ve already racked up several hits, including “Hype Boy” and “Ditto.”
